The Florida State Seminoles received a boost to their recruiting class with the commitment of highly-rated kicking specialist  The Venice High School standout flipped his pledge from South Florida to FSU after being offered a full scholarship over the weekend. At 6-foot, 190 pounds, Reus is set to join the Seminoles and fulfill his childhood dream of playing in Tallahassee.

Reus is highly regarded as both a kicker and punter. His exceptional talent is highlighted by his participation in prestigious events like the Under Armour and US Army All-American All-Star showcases, where he demonstrated his skills at both positions. Kohl’s Kicking ranks him as the second-best punter and third-best kicker nationally, while the 247Sports Composite rates him as the third-best kicker in the country, awarding him a rare three-star ranking for a specialist.

With his dual-threat capabilities, Reus brings versatility to the Seminoles’ special teams unit. FSU plans to start him as a punter, a position that currently lacks depth following the team’s focus on signing kicker Jake Weinberg in the previous recruiting cycle. However, Reus could still contribute as a kicker if his performance in practices warrants it, whether on kickoffs or field goal and PAT attempts.

Reus’ commitment adds a bright spot to what has otherwise been a challenging 2024 season for the Seminoles. His decision to join #Tribe25 signals a continued effort by FSU to strengthen their roster through strategic recruiting. His skill set and accolades suggest he could make an immediate impact on the team’s special teams performance.
